🌍 3 new countries and 9 new leagues


Italy, France and Spain are now playable — each with their own 1st, 2nd and 3rd division (18 leagues total instead of 9). Over 170 new league teams, 240 cup amateur teams and ~26,000 new players. 3 new domestic cups plus country-specific referees and 120 new sponsor brands.

🌐 New language picker with flag grid


Completely redesigned language panel: 8 columns × 6 rows with flag + language name in its own script, full UI live-update on every language switch, touch-scroll also on small screens. 9 new languages added: Chinese (中文), Japanese (日本語), Korean (한국어), Hindi (हिन्दी), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), Traditional Chinese (繁體中文), Bengali (বাংলা), Tamil (தமிழ்), Telugu (తెలుగు). 47 languages total now available.

🌐 Existing translations improved
Numerous improvements to existing translations — more natural wording, correct football terminology and consistent style across all 47 languages.

🏟️ Stadium editor redesigned


Tidy layout with three clearly separated sections (Build / Roof / Convert), compact stadium stats panel and touch-scroll across all cards. The VIP-box card now shows “⭐ 5–8× revenue per match” as an investment tip. When an upgrade is locked, a toast explains why.

🤝 Sponsor bonus filter
Sponsor offers now show only bonuses your team can realistically reach — no Champions League bonuses for third-division teams, no cup-winner bonuses for amateurs, no tiny bonuses under €1,000. The list is cleaner and more honest.

✨ UI improvements for Mobile
Country selector 2-row with flags, cup and country filters scrollable on mobile, language picker as 8×6 flag grid with live update on every switch.

⚡ Faster game start
Team selection screen loads only the chosen country — about 6× faster start. No more full 6-country preload.

Thanks to user feedback from the Anstoss Jünger Forum, the following content and bug fixes have been implemented:

  • 🔍 Extended player search — The "Buy Player" transfer screen now has an advanced search with filters for position, age, market value, league and country — find exactly the player you need.
  • 🏆 Achievements list in career — Complete overview of all 73 achievements in the career screen: grouped by categories (matches/wins, titles, cups, career, stadium, finances, transfers) with progress bars and detail popup.
  • 🏅 Super cups before season start — Domestic super cups before every season start in all countries: champion vs cup winner. Plus EU Super Cup after the summer break: winners of the major EU cups face off.
  • 🏟️ Standing→Seating conversion — Three new conversion options turn existing standing places into seats — either open, with a new roof, or under an existing roof. With a clear “⚠ 30 % capacity loss” warning, because seats need more space than standing places.
  • 🎟️ Live ticket-price preview — While adjusting the three prices (standing, seating, VIP), a live preview right on the price panel shows estimated attendance, utilization in percent and projected revenue for the next home match. Reacts instantly to every price change.
  • 🟥 Yellow-red suspension rule fixed — Yellow cards from a yellow-red match no longer count toward the 5th-/3rd-yellow accumulation suspension. A player sent off with yellow-red restarts accumulation from zero — matching the real rulebook (DFB §8(3) / FA).
  • 🟨 Yellow card display fixed — Correct display when multiple yellow cards overlap in the match engine. Player yellow counter and team yellow counter are now reliably tracked separately — important for correct yellow-red suspensions.

⚙️ Quality-of-Life


— Thanks to feedback from our own Discord channel, the following quality-of-life improvements have been added: —

⚙️ Quality of Life
A separate "Quit game" button next to "Restart" in options with a confirmation dialog. Career switch shows a loading screen immediately and locks the button — no accidental double-click swallows the season transition any more. Free-agent players over 34 (goalkeepers over 38) auto-retire. Cup and country filters wrap to 2 rows on mobile. Team selection screen loads only the chosen country — about 6× faster start.

🔧 Season transition stabilized


Player rating updates at season end are now reliably applied even if a winter-break rating update was already done — previously the two phases could block each other.

🎮 Retro style preserved


Modern TikTok-slang match commentary ("No cap", "Cringe", "Bro" etc.) has been completely removed from the game — doesn't fit the 90s retro feel of the Anstoss remake. Classical and humorous commentary variants remain.
